Autorenporträt

Stacey M. King is a businesswoman with commercial interests in the natural health industry and indigenous arts throughout Australia and the Pacific. She is an author and historian who specialises in Banaban Colonial history. Her association with the Banabans is more than a casual interest. Four generations of her family were involved with the early mining industry of Banaba (also known as Ocean Island) from the discovery of phosphate from 1900 to 1931.

In 1991, she began research on her family's history in 1989 for a historical novel based on their lives titled Nakaa's Awakening (due for publication release September 2019), the first in the Land of Matang trilogy. From her first meeting with the Banabans in 1992, she has worked extensively on aid projects to try and assist the Banaban communities on Rabi and Banaba Islands. She went on to become the founder of the Banaban Heritage Society in 1995, a non-profit incorporated association to preserve Banaban history and better the lives of the Banaban people. During this period she was involved in the research and coordination of various Australian and international television documentaries including:
60 Minutes, Nine Network, Australia (1993),
Banaba Grief for an Island Home in the South Pacific, Foreign Correspondent, ABC, Australia (1995),
Paradise Lost, NHK Network, Japan 1997,
Coming Home to Banaba, BBC OUL, United Kingdom (1997).
She has also written various articles on the Banabans for worldwide publication over the past 30 years.

In 1997, she formed a personal and collaborative partnership with Ken Raobeia Sigrah, a Banaban Clan historian and spokesperson. They both soon discovered their shared passion for seeking justice for the Banaban people and to see the rehabilitation of the Banaban homeland left destroyed by the mining. Together they have built one of the largest private collections on Banaban history from a European and indigenous perspective.

Their first published work, Te Rii Ni Banaba (2001), is a history book written from an indigenous perspective and endorsed by Banaban Clan elders. In November 2004, she led a Banaban delegation of four to the International Small Island Study Association conference in Kinmen Island, Taiwan where she presented the following papers, Legacy of a Miner's Daughter and Assessment of the Social Changes of the Banabans after Phosphate Mining on Banaba (2004). She has co-written papers on the following in...
